v1.3-rc

This release is the 1.3RC (Release Candidate) version, featuring the following key updates:

1. The plugin's interface has been optimized by changing two lines into one, thereby reducing its occupied space. #26
2. Multiple bugs have been addressed and resolved. #39, #42, #43.
3. Add a *_code_update.zip file in the release. This file only contains the code portion, which greatly reduces the file size and can significantly reduce the download time for users who only need to update the code.

• This version adds the following features to Geo SAM Labeling Tool:
  1. add Hover mode: give segmentation results when hovering the mouse over the image; (Shortcut: H)
  2. add option to select the output polygon layer from the current existing vector layers in the project.
  3. add option to set the minimum area condition for filtering output polygons, which helps remove unwanted small polygons in the output results of SAM.
  4. Add option to customize the colors of points and box prompts and feature extent.
• This version also adds an Encoder Copilot tool which can:
  1. Help set encoding parameters interactively and pass parameters to Endoder. ([Encoder Copilot] Copy settings -->[Encoding tool] Advanced->Paste Settings)
